Gator Combo Axe II – Best Camp Hatchets

Need a camping hatchet? There are many to choose from but one of the best camping axe hatchet to consider is the Gator Combo II axe made by Gerber. I find that the well-made axe fits very comfortably in your hand for an easy swing motion while chopping wood. Gerber wood cutting axe and knife combo is very versatile – great for backpacking, scouts, camping and overall general gardening use.

The Gator II axe’s lightweight design is very compact and feels solid while striking. Made with a longer handle than the original Gator, the advantage is a greater striking force with the stainless steel head. Gator II provides incredible striking force, making it ideal for a range of camping, hunting, and other outdoor or around-the-house tasks.

Solid Grip Hatchet Handle

The hatchet handle is made of glass-filled nylon and covered in Gerber’s Gator texture. It offers a better and more comfortable grip in wet and muddy conditions. The camp hatchet handle also houses a coarse blade handsaw, held in place magnetically, for sawing branches and brush. It’s a best axe rugged and lightweight camping essential. Chop firewood quickly and efficiently, or saw limbs to improve shooting lanes with this best camping hatchet.

Gerber Gator Axe II Review

Long handle for greater striking force and maximized grip

Forged steel head for strong, rugged performance and retained edge

Glass-filled nylon handle for a secure grip

Axe overall length: 15.16 inches; blade length 2.7 inches

Includes ballistic nylon sheath

The long lightweight handle provides maximum striking force, making this axe perfect for any outdoor trek.

Pull the 10-inch saw from the axe handle to cut shrubs, tree limbs, and branches.

Forged Steel Head for Edge Retention. The Gator II has a 3-inch forged steel head for great edge retention, and it’s sharp and ready to go right out of the box. To protect the blade from wear and tear, the Gator II comes with a durable ballistic nylon sheath.

The Gator II has an overall length of 15.6 inches, with a blade length of 2.7 inches, and only weighs 2.26 ounces for comfortable handling and portability. The inserted saw has an overall length of 10.24 inches, blade length of 6.1 inches, and weighs 2.4 ounces.

Featuring forged steel, and a rugged all-weather handle, this two-in-one axe and saw comes with a ballistic nylon sheath, and makes a great addition for the outdoorsman.

I have had one of these for over 10 years and I camp a lot. i would have expected it to die being so affordable, but it’s really tough. I just bought another so I can give my old one (which still works fine) to my little brother. The saw that lives in the handle is brutally sharp and is really handy to have in the woods. Buy 2 in case they ever stop making them.

Yes! It’s a Winner!

Considered Fiskars ;) especially after working with a small hatchet in removing large limbs from a tree and impressed as to the cut and pull. Though not everybody can use a hatchet effectively, as I witnessed some having difficulty using it.

Freaken sharp!!!!

I am part of a search and rescue group and was looking for a good utility axe to carry in my gear bag. I found this Gerber and wanted to test it out.
